An uptick in violence involving youthful offenders in the area inspired SouthPoint Church pastor Dustin Rivenbark to do something. ”I got tired of hearing just doing roundtables, it was like okay we have got to do something,” Rivenbark said. From there, the pastor set his sights on the local Boys and Girls Club for a week of literacy and social-emotional learning.“Learning about where we were, where we are and where we are going. It’s a powerful tool to really open a child’s mind to tap into all this world has for them,” Rivenbark said.It allows them to work on self-awareness, self-control and relationships with others.
